Replying To Awaywiththeferrys: "We do the fellas think the football is more important than the hurling. Tbh football is shocking to watch would put you to sleep only my opinion" Hurling does itself no favours by this kind of down-the-nose attitude. Football has given me some of the best days of my life. points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 293 - 31/10/2022 18:42:23 2446066 Link
looking forward to the ballybay crossmaglen game on saturday. the bookies rarely get it wrong and crossmaglen rightly favourites. The name alone is enough for that but Ballybay a good side with plenty of county stars past and present so hopefully they can cause an upset MalsBalls (Monaghan) - Posts: 222 - 04/11/2022 13:20:41 2446480 Link

All teams are there on merit. I see Ballybay game is on RTE. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2291 - 05/11/2022 13:55:34 2446554 Link

There are plenty of good football men, past players and managers. etc. saying the same, ' football is shocking to watch'. Are they showing a 'down-the-nose attitude' towards football?

Sportsjoe.ie must be mourning Crossmaglen's loss. Personally, I am delighted. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1491 - 06/11/2022 12:51:19 2446617 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "There are plenty of good football men, past players and managers. etc. saying the same, ' football is shocking to watch'. Are they showing a 'down-the-nose attitude' towards football?" Yes, they are certainly showing a dismissive attitude towards current football? Sime hurlers consider that football is generally inferior. Some retired footballers consider that modern football is inferior to what it was "in their day". Many of those former footballers were, of course, brilliant ball players. But being brilliant at playing football is no guarantee that you'll be objective about analysing it. And, yes, both lots have a down-the-nose-attitude. What's your point? You always get lots of former players with rose-tinted spectacles on. It's a feature of aging generally. I wouldn't be inclined to take them too seriously. points50swiththeargyllsonthewrongfeet (Tyrone) - Posts: 293 - 06/11/2022 13:51:10 2446620 Link

Replying To beano: "Sportsjoe.ie must be mourning Crossmaglen's loss. Personally, I am delighted." I suppose at least Crossmaglen won all their matches and cups themselves and didn't have to buy them #buyamanagertowinagame Tom1916 (Armagh) - Posts: 2001 - 06/11/2022 14:32:31 2446626 Link

Replying To Pet: "Should be some crack in that household this week ballybay maner has 3 sons and 6 nephews playing with kilcoo" Makes you wonder why he isn't managing his own club doesn't it Tom1916 (Armagh) - Posts: 2001 - 06/11/2022 18:33:14 2446655 Link
Replying To Awaywiththeferrys: "We do the fellas think the football is more important than the hurling. Tbh football is shocking to watch would put you to sleep only my opinion" Hurling is boring, they can score from anywhere and you can't see if it was a score or not anyway, I have no idea what half of the pundits are saying, it's like a pavey point agm listening to them. The same handful of counties keep playing each other over and over every year in some made up rubbish of a competition, Galway play in Leinster?? it's rubbish imo.

Replying To beano: "Sportsjoe.ie must be mourning Crossmaglen's loss. Personally, I am delighted." Why would you have such a dislike for Crossmaglen? I'd be a complete neutral in an Ulster club game. TerribleFootwork (Wexford) - Posts: 1760 - 06/11/2022 21:05:55 2446686 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Why would you have such a dislike for Crossmaglen? I'd be a complete neutral in an Ulster club game." Be hard to dislike Cross now. Stong claims to be the best club football side of all time. Excellent match to watch. Thought Ballybay were very good. Interesting that in last few years Ulster has been ahead of posse in producing more attack minded sides as opposed to what had become the stereotype. Whoever comes out of Ulster will be hard to beat. All serious teams left now. BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3520 - 07/11/2022 16:34:19 2446771 Link
Cross defence was very poor, far to open and was made all too easy for ballybay to just walk threw them. Kilcoo will be a step up and with the sub plot of the Ballybay management it brings this game into a new level, but still see kilcoo coming out on top.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but to be fair I think your county is responsible for the biggest crime against a sport that I can remember in GAA with the 2011 semi final vs Dublin. if you want a rubbish competition just look at what the Leinster and Munster football championships have become in the last decade.
